Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Microsoft XP
It is insane!! How can you expect someone to NOT upgrade?
Just a year back, it was a BIG configuration if you had 32 MB RAM, and 2
Gig drive.
Now, they have these 60Gig hard drives, and the newer OS's and
application really hog space like they assume you have 20+ drive. And 32
MB RAM? Many apps would laugh in its face.
Does Microsoft assume that we won't be moving on to these in a year if
not in the next six months??? And that would mean re-licensing XP every
time I moved from 64 -> 128--> 256....RAM???

Now see, that is why I have no issues with Windows 2000. Only game I
play
is Freecell. Although I did install a Nascar game but no time to play
it:-(

Beware of upgrading 98 to 2k. OS works fine, but games don't work
anymore
:(. I had to restore back to 98. Thats what you get when you pirate
games,
no updates :)
>>> kimberly.smith_at_gmd.fujitsu.com 08/23/01 06:58PM >>> I have not seen XP myself but a co-worker likes it. He was running 2000, which is what I run. What issues did you have installing W2K? It was pretty straight forward. The only issue I had was my motherboard is a RAID board and I had to use the drivers supplied. I keep going past the section where they were prompting me to switch to the a: drive without noticing a couple of times before I noticed.
You can also upgrade 98 with 2000. I did a couple of machines at the
office
with no issues whatsoever. Just make sure you got drivers for 2000
before hand since you computer is new.
I don't know what other people will say but so far its been very stable for me, both at work and home.

well screw that!! They can keep XP, I am staying away from it now!!
You
know, I just built myself a sweet monstosity of a machine at home. I
installed Windows 98 because I have it and it was easier than figuring
out
how to install win2k. Now I am so frustrated with the instability of it
that I am almost depressed. Oh what to do.....

Has anyone heard of all the troubles that the new version of Microsoft
is
having getting released ??
One of the ugliest things I see is their new licensing scheme. They
make
sure you are using it only on a specific machine by having its
functionality
based on hardware items on your system. This configuration has to be
registered either by phone or by internet about a month after it is
installed or everything stops working. If you change something big,
like a
Network Card or cpu chip, your system will not boot because it thinks
you
have installed it on a different machine.
Anyone have options on the new XP ?
